AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2004 Mini has 23 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 30,094 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with recurring advisories and a 21-year-old vehicle, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 221 miles/year before Jun 2019, then 6,522 miles/year from Jun 2019 to Dec 2020, indicating a significant data error or potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: 221 miles/year before Jun 2019 is a clear red flag for potential odometer fraud.
- Not valid MOT: Vehicle is currently not valid, untaxed, and has no active MOT status.
- Recurring advisories: 14 brake advisories and 3 suspension advisories across multiple tests.
- High risk of fraud: The 221 miles/year before Jun 2019 is a clear red flag for potential odometer fraud.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2024): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 8 historical failures
- No MOT failures: All 4 MOT tests resulted in a pass, indicating no immediate safety failures.
- Consistent mileage: Once the anomaly is resolved, the vehicle shows consistent annual mileage.
